What ground clearance does an electric 4WD need?
Electric 4WDs have a low centre of gravity and instant torque, but they still need the clearance to match where you drive. Use this as a rough guide when you read the table.
| Where you drive | Suggested ground clearance |
|---|---|
| City driving, speed bumps and driveways | 130–160 mm |
| Gravel and dirt roads | 160–190 mm |
| Light off-road tracks | 190–220 mm |
| Serious 4WD tracks | 220 mm or more |
Ground clearance, braked towing and torque are the figures to compare. We don't yet hold wading depth or diff-lock data, so the table doesn't rank on them.
